I suffer from sleep apnea, so the more sleep I get the better off I am. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow, then I'm literally DEAD for the next 7 hours. I never wake up in the middle of the night, and sometimes it even takes me an hour to hear the alarm clock--set on high! I'm so greatful to not have sleep problems.
So, at least I have company. I take medicine in the AM, and PM. A couple of times I accidentally took my PM meds in the morning, these include 4 different things to relax me and put me to sleep. (yea, right). Anyway, the times I mixed up my AMs and PMs, I couldn't even tell! Thats how well they work on me. So frustrating.
We're talking averages here people. On a "normal" night - on the average, how much sleep do you get?
I'll go first.
Seven.
I cannot function on less than 5 and my *perfect* number is 10. On weekends I will often sleep 10-12 hours.
How about you?

My wife goes to sleep around 8:30pm and gets up around 5:30am, about 10 hours sleep. I go to sleep around 1am and get up around 8am, about 7 hours sleep.
I guess each person is different, and each needs different sleep patterns.
Before kids I got about 9, I swore I couldn't get less. Then I had kids and if I get 5 its a miracle...and that usually is in 2-3 hr increments. If I get more than 5 or 6 max I am really groggy. Guess needing less comes from older age (Im in my mid thirties).
